I would be more worried about the cat food as it has all kinds of unknowns in it, including meat byproducts. Fortunately mine don't care for dog food and they are never around cat food.

I have one doe who absolutely loves dog food. She is sneaky- When I take her on walks she follows me, then when she knows I trust that she is following and I turn my back on her, she runs to the dog food bowl and gets a few mouthfuls before I catch her and try to get as much as I can out if her mouth. She is very bad and very, very smart!

Lol well I haven't, he us in our backyard with the ducks and chickens and we're having a hard time feeding the two outside cats because everybody wants the cat food lol. We do give it to the ducks as a protein supplement. We do use the 4health grain free so it's kind of a relief

Can I ask, sort of off topic here... Those of you who have LGDs that live with their goats, you must feed them in a separate area?
I would be more worried about the unknown meats in cat and dog food. I assume unknown often = cow. And ruminants eating ruminants is scary.

Out of our 19 goats, only one ate dog food.

Oh so they just aren't interested? I was just curious, my goats have never not eaten something haha.

We put this welded wire fence around the feeder. We feed flock raiser because we also have turkeys and ducks. The chicken have oyster shell for calcium. The welded wire's holes are big enough for all the birds' heads, but not the goats.
